The Great Weis Hope

Ok, I have resisted putting up a Notre Dame post so far this season, but now that they sit at 1-8 I feel it is time to put up a post. I put up a post last year about Notre Dame being overrated (go figure.) Those of you that have read my preview for the past few years, know that I have questioned the hiring of Weis, and how I was shocked at the 10-year contract extension in his first year. I also remarked how I did not like the way Ty Willingham was treated, and felt that race may have played a factor. I have never liked Weis, and it is amazing how arrogant he is in press conferences, especially after some ugly losses this year. He will go down in college football and Notre Dame history books, but not in favorable terms. I have never been a Notre Dame fan, but it is hard to ignore them when the media pushes them down our throats. I feel Notre Dame is getting what it deserves for the treatment of Willingham and the false hope in a bumbling arrogant Weis. Perhaps he will turn it around next year, but I would not be surprised if the alumni step up and buy out his contract next year. Fox Sports had a good article up regarding Notre Dame and Weis. I borrowed the term Great Weis Hope from the article.
